Cowboys cut nose tackle

The Cowboys signed Anderson in January. A journeyman player, he sat out last season after playing for Buffalo and Atlanta for four years.

Injuries to his toe and ankle prevented Anderson from stating his case with the Cowboys. He suffered a toe injury during the offseason that required surgery and forced him to miss the OTAs, minicamp and the first week of training camp.

But it was a forgettable, no-tackle performance against Oakland on Thursday night that probably sealed his fate.
